QUOTES:

"Afternoon storms cause extensive damage Monday West of San Antonio. High
winds knocked down several hangars at the Castroville Municipal Airport and
damaged a few planes.

Eye witnesses say the main terminal actually shifted during the storm. The
airport's three main hangars basically caved in. Five planes inside were
damaged. One plane on the outside of the hangar remained on its side Monday
night.

High winds also caused damage along the Eastern side of Canyon Lake. WOAI
received reports of uprooted trees, a barn completely gone, and some
structural damage.

Right after the storms, CPS said 6,500 customers were left without power on
the West Side near Marbach and Loop 410."

QUOTES:

"The drenching rains and high wind through north and central Texas also 
caused major traffic delays.

Strong storms in Austin "downed a lot of power lines, a lot of trees in the 
roadway, and stopped traffic in major roadways for the last two or three 
hours," Austin police communications supervisor Italo White said late Monday.

An 18-wheeler truck overturned on Interstate 35, but no one was injured, 
officials said.

Some areas in North Texas saw hail the size golf balls and baseballs, 
National Weather Service meteorologist Daniel Huckaby said. Two to three 
thousand people across the region were without power, said TXU Energy 
spokesman Scott Withers.

High winds also destroyed a hangar complex south of Castroville, about 20 
miles west of San Antonio. At least 10 planes were damaged while the area 
was under a tornado warning."
